would like someone's rating of career quest training centers? I am in Lansing, MI. I answrd an ad under employment & now have an appt. at Career Quest Training Center. Would like some honest reviews of any in this area that have gone through any of their programs, especially medical billing. Was the training good, was it worth the money (irregardless of financial aid) and have you been able to find suitable employment afterwards, and how long did it take to get employment? Am interested in reviews of them in general, but especially in my area.

Hey this is important help me please what certificate program should I do ?Got laid off need to change my LIFE? Hi people I am 24 years old I live in washington Heights close to the A train, were I can get any place I want in the city by train.I recently got laid off a non profit job were I cannot collect plus I was working for two months.(job was temporary ) I my quest to find a job I have found depression and stress I have not had any luck. I am starting to hate craigslist and I HATE that when I go inside a store they tell me apply online do they even go through the millions of resumes.I have sent my resume out like no lie 600 times No exaggeration I checked my sent messages. Let me get to the point I have a two year old and in a bad relationship as bad as it can get. I only have telephone call center light data entry and receptionist skills. I want to do a quick certificate program and get certified to work a career out. I need this for some stability for now. I was thinking of dental assistant in mandl allied college but I dont know if the school is accredited somebody explained to me that if I go and it is not accredited what ever that means that I will have to do like 1000 hours worth of work before I get certified which sucks. Its takes like 8 months to complete. Then I heard of cnas certified nursing assistants which takes less time to do and I think they get payed less than nursing assistants tho? I heard that you would have to work in a nursing home to make 12 dollars and up but its rare anybody know about quick certificate programs ? or have done any of these any suggestions would be great I would appreciate it. I need something that makes good money like 12 and up starting I want to get an apartment and move out with my sis. sorry for the long paragraphs !

Resume help please! How can I fix? I have been able to find the job i have currently with no problems. However, in my quest to find a new position, I am having trouble and wanted to know whether or not the resume is the issue. The positions I apply for are only what I have experience in, sometimes way more than requested. The issue has been that in over 65 resumes submitted, not one phone call.. not even to inquire or ask any questions. Before my current position, I had all sorts of calls coming in.
